    I just think this stuff is funny. I don't vouch for it.

    This is pretty much what I figured Webmost meant with all these posts. I never thought he had any ulterior agenda. He's always just said what he thinks, when he thinks it. I must admit I've thought much of it was stupid on a grand scale, but, wasn't that the funny part?

    My comment wasn’t about the Quora post, but just my feelings about Social Security, and @ShawnOL post about it being government help.

    Well, when Leno used to do his stupid man on the street questions, I'm sure they edited out anyone not stupid enough to give a stupid answer... but it's still a species of schadenfreude. Somewhere there's someone dumb enough to fall for you name it.

    Not meant to offend @cbuck . Met a lot of old people who rely on SS and many turned lefty when the became beholden to the state.

    I haven't met any who did.
    Perhaps that's a Taxachussets thing.

    I was reminded of @webmost this morning. After looking at @silvermouse's "true" map, I searched "how do flat eathers explain how a compass works?", several Quora forums links appeared in my search results. And that reminded me of this thread. And made me wonder if he posted much on Quora. I never joined, even though this thread had me curious. Do any of you have a Quora account? I'm reluctant to join, but if he posted a lot on Quora, I might want to take a look.

    Someone hacked Christina Baumgartner Costner's account I guess?
